Use of Internal and External Compasses with ADCPs
Tuesday July 21, 2026 1:00pm - 1:50pm CDT
BCC - Birmingham (65 Class / 100 theater)
The setup and quality assurance of acoustic Doppler current profilers (ADCPs) involve multiple steps preceding streamflow measurement activities. Reliable heading data is essential for Loop Method Moving Bed Tests, GPS-based navigation, and angle calculations in the Azimuth Mid-Section method. This presentation will address the use of both internal and external heading sensors, highlight the significance of accurate heading data, and outline quality assurance procedures applicable during data collection and post-processing.

Considerations and ADVM mount designs for flashy index velocity sites
Tuesday July 21, 2026 4:00pm - 4:50pm CDT
BCC - Birmingham (65 Class / 100 theater)
A presentation on how to pick the best ADVM mount design for your index velocity site with an emphasis on sites that are flashy in nature. Traditional mount designs tend to favor slower tidal environments that aren't always built to withstand debris hitting them at higher velocities. This talk will go over creative solutions, what not to do, and show off successful ADVM mounts from complex environments. Other considerations for flashy IV sites will also be discussed.
